WEEKS 9–12
TRAINING CAMP - PHASE 3
THE RULES OF THE GAME
Be sure to observe the following rules when performing the
workouts for weeks 9–12 of ATHLEAN-X™ Training Camp:

1. Warm ups should consist of a brief 5-10 minute jog, jump rope, high knee drill,
etc. to simply elevate core body temp. Static stretching before a workout is not
advised, as it will change muscle length tension relationships and is better saved
for after a workout (ideally before bed).
2. When choosing how much weight to use, be sure to use an amount of weight that
allows you to complete the prescribed number of reps in good form. You should
find the last repetition of the set to require nearly maximum effort to complete.
If the last repetition is too easy and you find that you can complete at least 2 or 3
more, increase the load on all subsequent sets.
3. Perform 1 set of each exercise in the “pair” without resting in between. This is one
set. Perform all sets for the pair before moving onto the next pair in the workout.
4. If a pair has exercise A and B, perform exercise A then B without resting in
between. When complete…return to A then B again for the prescribed number of
sets for that circuit.
5. Rest time between “pairs” in these 4 weeks of workouts is 60 seconds. Keep
core exercises rest time to virtually zero. Perform all core exercises as one giant
set and repeat.
6. Rep cadence should be 1-2 seconds on the concentric, slight pause, and 3
seconds eccentric.
Th
7. Perform all sets of each exercise before proceeding to the next exercise in the
workout. This will set the stage for success and build your foundation strength
for later in the program.
8. Perform all conditioning drills with the best footwork, and highest effort you
can for best results. **ALSO – If you don’t have access to equipment called for
during a Tuesday or Thursday conditioning workout you can either repeat one
of the earlier workouts or use my Ironman, 4 Minutes of Hell (3 rounds), Invictus,
300, X-pendables, Hurricane Headrush or other burst conditioning workout from
YouTube in its place.
And last but not least…
As Bill Gates once said, “If I had some set idea of a finish line, don’t you think
I would have crossed it years ago?” – Don’t let this be your finish line…just
another step along the way to totally transforming your body to its ultimate
potential!
